A roe-d deer
4:50pm Friday 5th August 2011 in Your Argus
I WOULD like to respond to comments from Suki Wilson who suggests culling deer after hitting one on the road while driving (The Argus, July 30).
She states a deer hit her car – I would suggest her car hit the deer. She states it hit the bonnet – I rather think the bonnet hit the deer.
It is always being suggested we need to cull in some way: seagulls, badgers, now deer.
I think the worst animals on this planet are the ones that stand on two legs.
There must be other ways. More careful driving would be one solution, especially through a road in a forest.

What with Gordon Dean and Ken Strudwick Lancing seems to have cornered the market in pompous pedants

You cannot expect nature to adapt to our lives. He is right - she hit the deer, not the other way around.

It was not so much what he said more how it was phrased that I was referring to

I wasn;t there so I don't know. For all I know to the contrary the deer ran into the side of the car. It was not so much what he said more how it was phrased that I was referring to
The guys refers to the deer hitting the bonnet so very unlikely to have hit the side.
...and he's very spot on - too many people drive without looking around them....a road through a Forest and its probably got the deer warnings in a triangle...so not too many clues then!
There's also triange warning signs with kids in outside of schools...maybe the driver doesnt pay attention to those either!
